let me give mitt romney this much. if there's anything bush did i respected, he was willing to throw in his free market ideology which didn't work and helped get us in to the mess and that we couldn't let everything go down the drain. i agree, it was better to do t.a.r.p. than not and barack obama could have played politics for it right before the election, voted for it and that chart you showed is that the recession started under bush. if romney wants to run on the bush economy, i think president obama would welcome that. the job loss has continued seriously for three or four months after obama took office and they passed the stimulus and slowly we started coming back. the second thing he forgets, we almost went under in march in 2009. the people in the white house were petrified the whole system despite t.a.r.p. would collapse again. >> how much of an impact did the stimulus package have? in hindsight, we probably wouldn't have had these 24 months of private sector job growth had we not done the stimulus package. >>
